A cardinal Principle of Conservatism is that the Family Unit is the linchpin of culture/society.
Does abortion help or harm the Family Unit?????
This should explain why the vast majority of Jews never were, are not now and likely never will be principled conservatives. Instead they will always gravitate toward the political hard left; among them Marx, most of Lenin’s Bolsheviks and msm yappers like Willie Kristol.
I was thinking more along the lines of it shouldn't matter. Even some Atheists and Agnostics are pro-life. The fact is that the Jewish people as a nation/race have seen enormous persecution and genocide as well as slavery in their many thousands of years history. I would think/hope it should make them more sensitive to the plight of the helpless innocents at the mercy of others and appeal to the intrinsic worth of human life whether born or unborn.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)
The Hebrew is “No Murder”. Twixt killing and murder there’s gulf of difference.
I wonder if you wouldn’t get the same result from any group that chooses to live in urban areas at the same frequency as Jews. I’d like to see urban/rural splits for all the faiths, I bet you would see the urban population more accepting of abortion every time.
Freegards
Same here. You would think they would be the first to step up in defense of the defenseless.
Thanks for posting that. It’s good to see.
Based on what exactly?
Do you have any Scripture to back that up?
Or is it just "experience"?
So it appears...
Jews and Christians say No but Mormons have no religious literature forbidding abortion...
For abortion it is up to their Mormon “bishop” to “pray” to their Mormon gods to find out whether or not it wants the Mormon female to murder her baby...
Well Jesus drove demons out of people, and there's that "powers and principalities" Bible quote, and a few others, so demonic possession isn't exactly unknown to the Bible.
Other than that, yes, way down at the bottom of the list, written in small type, surround by cautions and exceptions, there are "just" my tiny, little, "experiences."
Kind of like the "experience" you use in interpreting the Bible. Except, of course, your "experiences" are written in much bigger type than mine.
Although there's a number of so-called humans I've dealt with that I'd love to see you interact with as if they were actually human. They'd enjoy that.
So for an atheistic Jewess like Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky, abortion must be an act to celebrate?
You know, maybe the Jews are right. Hey, they’re the chosen people, and the Bible clearly doesn’t much care about the unborn. Jesus never mentioned them specifically.
Mothers kill millions of babies in the womb because they have “defects.” Nazis killed Jews for the same reason.
Why can’t liberal atheistic Jews see the similarity?
God knit together the baby in the womb (Old Testament)
So? He knit together lambs and calves, too, and we kill them.
So inexpressibly sad.
